Saturday Ecstatic Special

A live percussion and DJ-assisted Ecstatic Dance journey combining the best of electronic and acoustic sounds to awaken the wild dancer within.

Padma Sam (AKA Robb Correll) is co-founder and principal DJ at Ecstatic Dance Berne. Robb brings all his skill and knowledge as a classically trained singer as well as years of experience as a professional theater director and ritual facilitator to the creation of his transformative Ecstatic Dance mixes. Bandia is a group of percussion(s)istas brought together by their love of drumming. They hypnotise their audience with powerful rhythms and play in any formation (between 1-4 players) at events of all kinds, with/without DJ accompaniment.

___________________________ 

The word ‘Ecstatic’ comes from Greek ‘ek’ (out) and ‘sta’ (to stand) and can be taken to mean ‘to stand outside of oneself’. Ecstatic Dance is way of getting out of your mind for a while and into your body. 

Most English language dictionaries define ‘ ecstatic’ as “feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement”. Ecstatic Dance is actually a way to practice welcoming ALL emotions and giving them physical expression. 

No shoes, no booze, no chit-chat! At Ecstatic Dance Bern we provide a safe substance free space to dance freely without words. 

Doors open and music begins at 19:30 PM. At 20:00 PM there is a guided warm-up followed by free dance alone or together with others, in whatever way the music moves you. 

Due to the cost of offering live percussion the entry fee for this event will be CHF 30.- for everyone. Places are limited so if you want to be sure to be able to participate buy your ticket in advance on Eventfrog.

Every BODY can dance!
